'Myinvention obviously is `not restricted tothefdetails of construction-sliown in the drawings. `Although` it may be desirable to make the 'feeder from 'ai single sheet metal' stamping, in 'many instances it would bei VfoundV desirable to make 'the ycoveror guard member vas a separate piece from the trough' Vmember andv myinventionjisintended to be applicable to both of these constructions."
